Notes
'Cottage Pink' sorrel (Oxalis articulata 'Cottage Pink') is a perennial for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, so you get flowers across three seasons. Butterflies visit the blooms. The plant spreads 12 to 24 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Blue Ivory hosta, Lady's mantle, and Lady fern.
